Dental Bridges Dunnellon, FL

Dental BridgesAn Overview

A dental bridge is used to replace missing teeth. A bridge can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple consecutive missing teeth. Dental bridges can be designed to blend seamlessly with surrounding natural teeth for a beautiful and stable smile.

Replacing missing teeth can prevent the deterioration of your oral health. Patients with missing teeth are more prone to developing bone recession, gum disease, and further tooth loss. Replacing missing teeth as soon after their loss as possible can allow patients more options for replacement.

Traditonal Bridge V. Implant Secured Bridge

A removable dental bridge is traditionally attached to two adjacent teeth. Dr. Perkins prepares the adjacent teeth by removing a substantial amount of tooth material to make room to fit the bridge. This style of dental bridge is typically removable.

When possible, Dr. Perkins may recommend securing a dental bridge with dental implants. Dental implant secured bridges do not compromise the structure of remaining healthy teeth. Dental implants fuse naturally with jaw bone creating a stable and lasting bite. Dental implants help to prevent bone recession and create a more stable oral foundation, promoting long term oral health.
